Trump country

Trump country is an informal term used to describe areas of the United States which heavily voted for Republican Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Trump's main bases of support were in socially conservative rural America and in fiscally conservative suburban America, and many of his supporters there were motivated to vote for him because of his support for the coal and oil industries, his nationalist goal of "making America great again" (which resonated with many Americans who felt that the country was in decline), his business background, his opposition to (illegal) immigration, and his party's "Christian values" platform.
